Which says:
- Mr. Trump himself has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine.
He holds a bit of Sanofi in a mutual fund. So do some other folk. Maybe I do too? I have no idea.
I despise Trump. He's a dim-witted incompetent megalomaniac. I wouldn't be surprised if his interest in hydroxychloroquine was revealed to be financial. But this isn't it. Printing garbage like this weakens the nation.
Media is huge part of the problem.
Actually, Hydroxychloroquine is available as a generic, Sanofi isn't the only maker. Novartis makes it too, among six others. This is not going to make Trump "rich rich rich, mwoohahaha". I was a better journalist than Justin Baragona in 10 minutes.
So dumb.
They've gone a long way downhill. What's funny is their paywall is mostly liberals snarking to themselves. I still check it every morning but at this point I already know everything I care about between the WSJ, the Times and the WA post alerts. I really wish I was less online but it's kind of the only world left.
You are too correct. I read that article sometime within the last day, and decided against posting it. Did the same thing you did. Clicked through to the ‘Times article, and was like “uhhh?”.
